So no,there is no echoes of the Prince IMO.

Okay go back and read it again... the comparison I'm making is not as a fighter it's as a person.

Oh and Naseem could have could have achieved so much more had he not lost the plot, sacked his trainer and started to believe that he could walk through everyone. Hamed has a very good legacy but Legend - not IMO.

Dont have to be very good to be a legend.

Fighters like Bruno,Gatti and Benn are legends but would never be considered all time greats.

Another point I was making fighters like Bruno who was to be kind limited got massive support when they lost - we should try giving the same level of support to fighters that are winners - the whole British fight fan mentality is kind of wierd. I would agree with Benn being classed as a legend he gave us some great fights... but Bruno ?
